What market are you looking at? Its all about risk... if you're targeting the medical domain for example, you have a multi-year project just to get thru the certifications.
Conversely if you're just looking at creating a toy with limited movement, weight and power then the risk is significantly less.
Get an engineering safety consultant to have a look.
